Abstract
We study regular solutions to wave equations with super-critical source terms, e.g., of exponent $p>5$ in 3D. Such sources have been a major challenge in the investigation of finite-energy ($H^1 \times L^2$) solutions to wave PDEs for many years. The wellposedness has been settled in part, but even the local existence, for instance, in 3 dimensions requires the relation $p\leq 6m/(m+1)$ between the exponents $p$ of the source and $m$ of the viscous damping. We prove that smooth initial data ($H^2 \times H^1$) yields regular solutions that do not depend on the above correlation. Local existence is demonstrated for any source exponent $p\geq 1$ and any monotone damping including feedbacks growing exponentially or logarithmically at infinity, or with no damping at all. The result holds in dimensions 3 and 4, and with some restrictions on $p$ in dimensions $n\geq 5$.Furthermore, if we assert the classical condition that the damping grows as fast as the source, then these regular solutions are global.
